Question

Answer 1

The Correct Answer is First half of the 18th Century.

Key Points:

The Mughal dynasty is a Turkish-Mongol Muslim-origin dynasty that ruled most of Northern India from the early 16th to mid-18th century.
During Muhammad Shah's reign (1719–48), the empire began to disintegrate, a process accelerated by dynastic warfare, factional rivalries, and the Iranian conqueror Nadir Shah's brief but disruptive invasion of Northern India in 1739.
After the death of Muhammad Shah in 1748, nearly all of Northern India was overrun by the Marathas.
After his involvement with the Indian Mutiny of 1857–58, the British exiled the last Mughal, Bahādur Shah II (reigned 1837–57), to Yangon, Myanmar (Rangoon, Burma)
